Acting Quickly to Help Animals in Need

As soon as the staff at 1800PetMeds heard the news about the storm, they reached out to the Joplin Humane Society Animal Adoption & Resource Center to find out if they were able to accept donations. Fortunately, the Humane Society was spared the worst of the storm, and were open and operating amid the destruction. People have brought hundreds of injured and displaced pets to them in hopes that the pets can be helped or reunited with their owners, and 1800PetMeds has donated supplies and over $1000 to the Joplin Humane Society to help them do what they do best – care for animals.

Anthony Planakis, the Donation Coordinator for 1800PetMeds, was in charge of the Joplin donation effort. “As soon as we found out the Humane Society was still able to accept donations and care for the found animals, we immediately made a donation of over $1,000.00, comprised of cash and products, many from the shelter’s wish list, including a pet pen, a designer cot, a deluxe portable soft dog crate, a bed, and a large box of flea and tick preventative medications,” said Anthony.
